The dark cave opens

There once was a dark cramped cave. It was full of an assortment of things, car parts, a broken riding lawnmower in pieces, old oil, paint, junk, tools, all piled in several heaps. Then along came a fairy with a magic workbench and some worn out lumber. Now this workbench looked like just a bench to most people (infact it had been used as a bench by the previous owner), but the Lord of the manner saw potential. After adding a few pieces of the lumber to the bench and turning it on its side *poof* it became a workbench. The Lord of the manner added a shelf to help store things in his workbench and then set off to make room for it in the cave. The Lady of the manner decided to help organize the cave with the Lord of the manner and together they were able to pair down and get rid of many things that were unnecessary and merely taking up space. The Lady was delighted at the amount of space that had opened up in the cave. There were still many things that needed to find alterior homes, but this was a start. The squire soon awoke which caused the Lord and Lady to stop working on the cave, but they both felt much better about it. Later that evening after a few phone calls to other manners and Lords, the Lord of this manner was able to find a home for the broken down riding lawnmower. The Lady wasn't going to believe it until she saw it. Sure enough the next day when she returned from work, the lawnmower was gone and in its place was a large opening in this cave. An opening fit for a party. And that is exactly what the Lady of the manner did, she had a party to delight in this newfound space.

Ok so we didn't really have a party with people over, but we did celebrate in the fact that we now have a garage. Its not totally organized, Dave needs to make places for his tools and he wants to add doors to the workbench to keep the squire out, but it is a wonderful start. So that is how we spent out weekend. I hope yours was as productive as ours.
